Tatuaje Fausto
$191.25 – $213.75Since its launch in 2003, Pete Johnson’s Tatuaje cigar portfolio has grown to include more than 20 brands—both in regular and limited production and has grown from unknown status to one of the cigar industry’s highly rated and sought-after boutique cigar brands. Johnson himself has also evolved from an unknown newcomer to visionary and respected industry entrepreneur.
This edition came on the scene back in 2011 and received deservedly high ratings culminating in being awarded one of the top cigars of 2018 with 93 points. As you can see, Fausto has been a truly consistently great stick for about a decade. In short; this is a dark, strong, hearty and spicy cigar from the get go and increases in intensity and you move along with it. Buckle up!Origin – Nicaragua

Rocky Patel Vintage 2003 Cameroon (8y)
$186.30 – $239.40No one disputes that Rocky Patel is one of the few Titans of the Premium Cigar Industry. Over 20 years ago as he began his quest to get a foothold in the marketplace he actually got in his car and traveled the country visiting high volume Tobacconists unannounced! When he wound up in my store to sell his first entry , I hesitantly took a chance on him. Actually, he was such a nice and appreciative person I couldn’t resist! The rest is cigar history!
If you’ve read my posts you know I’m bullish on aging your cigars to enhance their taste. This 92 rated style was listed as one of the top 25 cigars in 2017. Not only does it have a beautiful rare Cameroon wrapper, it’s been aged 8 years!
The result is a sold medium to full bodied, well rounded smoke that is uncommonly smooth.

When he launched the Tavicusa line in 2018 it was well received and was highly rated. This Nicaraguan puro is as superior as his Vintage series with a bit of a twist.

This edition has an interesting back story. Hamlet Paredes is a very well known cigar roller hailing from Cuba that Rocky actually assisted leaving Cuba to come to the US. This cigar is his first creation that Rocky commissioned him to make. The three country blend actually delivers a Cuban Style taste with a medium flavor strength. Its 90 rating is a testament to this well made, carefully blended entry.

Rocky Patel Java Red
$37.80 – $324.00Rocky Patel Java Red is the latest edition of this hugely popular line of sharply box pressed premium cigars.

These two masters created a brand that is still going strong after 16 years!
Java Red combines the smooth Java signature taste with a hint of chocolate along with the gentle infusion of wild cherry flavors!If you are a fan of Drew Estate and Rocky Patel, this one is a must try.

We all love Rocky Patel Cigars. Over the years he’s provided a style for everyone’s taste. What most of us will agree to is that you get what you pay for and you have to pony up real money for one of his signature sticks. Not that he doesn’t deserve it!
When Catch 22 was launched in 2015 everyone did a double take to make sure it was coming from him. This six country blend of tobaccos is expertly made and yields a complex medium bodied flavor for a great price! I recommend a five pack and you’ll see how Rocky got a whole new group of price conscience smokers in his fold. Thanks Rocky!

Over 20 years ago as he began his quest to get a foothold in the marketplace he actually got in his car and traveled the country visiting high volume Tobacconists unannounced! When he wound up in my store to sell his first entry, I hesitantly took a chance on him. Actually, he was such a nice and appreciative person I couldn’t resist! The rest is cigar history! One of the keys to Rocky’s success over the years is the number of choices he continues to create for all of us to enjoy.
When this edition launched in 2010, shortly after it was awarded the #6 Best Cigar of 2011. Then in 2018 it garnered another top 25 placement. All along the way getting 90+ ratings year after year. This still amazing medium-full bodied stick is jammed packed with tobacco yielding a slow, smooth burn that increases in intensity as you move along. If you’re a fan of Rocky’s stuff you’ve tried it. If you’re not, you will be after trying it! Enough said!

Perdomo 20th Anniversary Sun Grown
$199.80 – $248.40Nick Perdomo and his Dad are well renowned cigar makers. I’ve watched them grow to one of the world’s powerhouse teams producing a wide array of highly rated premiums. In fact, over 20 years ago I remember Nick personally traveling around the country and winding up in my Long Island store soliciting for business! Many years later when I went to the last big Cigar Show trying to see him was like trying to see a rock start! His success is well earned.
When the 20th Anniversary line was launched all editions were highly rated first class sticks. This Sun Grown Nicaraguan puro edition is a Cuban style, full flavored stick. It’s strong, robust taste increases in intensity along the way. Buckle up!
